Windows Phone 7 Apps

A small diversion form the apps posts going on here normally is this piece of news of a persistent database available for app developers.

Perst™ is an object-oriented, open source embedded database solution available for the Windows Phone 7 platform. Great news for developers planning to write business solution apps for WP7.

Written by the firm APPA Mundi from Birmingham England. Andy Wigley, a MS MVP, claims:

Using Perst for .NET, developers using Silverlight can now include true database management system features in their Silverlight applications, including adding persistence to this data by storing it in a container file in isolated storage

Evaluation software of Perst™ can be found here.
